👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Anko (you can use instant red bean paste if you want to save time): soak the red beans overnight
- 2 Boil until soft, about 1 hour, then drain
- 3 Cook the red beans with sugar, salt, and water over low heat
- 4 Keep stirring until the paste thickens and dries out — about 20 minutes
- 5 Mash part of it with a spatula, but leave some beans whole for texture
- 6 Let it cool
- 7 Pancake: beat the eggs and sugar until pale and thick
- 8 Add the honey and mirin
- 9 Sift in the flour and baking powder, then fold in gently
- 10 Add the water and stir until smooth
- 11 Let the batter rest for 15 minutes
- 12 Heat a nonstick pan over low heat, lightly grease with oil, then wipe off the excess
- 13 Pour in 2 tbsp of batter and let it naturally spread into a circle
- 14 Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook for 1 minute
- 15 Repeat to make all the pancakes
- 16 Take one pancake, add 1-2 tbsp of anko, then top with another pancake
- 17 Gently press the edges together
💡 Tips
• The heat must be really low and even so the pancakes brown perfectly and evenly
• Wipe off the oil after greasing the pan — too much oil will make the pancakes look blotchy
• Dorayaki tastes best when eaten fresh on the same day
